An Austrian Fugitive.

VIENNA, Oct. 2S.-Philemon Zaleski,
or Zalewski, elso known as Zaleski de
Jelita, formerly employed in the packet
post department in this city, fled May
% last after having rified numerous
packages and distracted their contents.
The Austrian consuls throughout the
United States were at once notified, as
it was believed that the fugitive would
make his way to that country. So far,
however, no traces of his whereabouts
have been discovered, and in conse-
quence the imperial post department
has decided to issue another circular
urging the representatives of the gov
ernment abroad to redouble their efforts
to locate his hiding place. The original
reward of $1,000 for his apprehension
has been increased to $4,000, and in ad-
dition the government engages to pay
10 per cent of the stealings recovered.
The total of his peculations is III the
neighborhood of $4,000. Zaleski was
formerly non-commissioned officer in
the Austrian army, and is man of fine
appearance.

GOV. oGLEsBY.
No Regular and Legal Application
for CIemency Has Been Made to


SPRINGFIELD. Ill, Oct. 2e.-It is a
curious fact that among all the COM
munications that have reached the gov
ernOr for and against clemency for the
anarchists there is but one formal peti-
ton, and that is mailed from small in
terror town in New York. The main
body of all the other literature on the
governors desk Oh this subject consists
of personal appeals and remOnstrances.
1t has already become an interesting
question, therefore, whether there is
such case before the governor in be-
half of these prisoners as he could act
upon. In fact the governor says that no
such application or petition as is con-
templated in the law has been filed by
any of the men under sentence in
Cook county in what is known
as the anarchists case. The
legal provision made as to the
manner of applying requires that the ap-
plieation shall be made by petition in
writing to the governor signed by the
party under conviction or other persons
in his behalf, shall contain brief
history Of the case and the reasons why
; such a pardon should be granted, and
shall also be accompanied by state
ment in writing made by the Judge and
prosecuting attorney of the court in
which the conviction was had,
STATING THEIR OPINION
regarding the case, or in the absence of
a statement of their opinion, satisfactory.
reasons must be given to the governor
why such statement does not accompany
the petition; and finally, it is made the
duty of the judge and prosecuting attor-
ney to give such opinion whenever such
petition is presented to them None of
these legal formalities have yet been
complied with. Whether the governor
would consider case not conforming
to these legal requirements can only be
inferred. When questioned On that
point he simply replied:
presume the governor might. on his mo-
tion and without any application, pardon out
OF the penltent1ary any convict he chose, or
any number of them and that if he did they
would be safely out, but the governor would
be liable to impeachment.
AS to the requirement that the appli-
cation must be made by the party under
conviction, it seems pretty clear that
when another person acts for the person
condemned he must so act as an attOr-
ney or agent, and at the solicitation or
request of the person condemned. In
other words, the petition must represent
!the actual wish of the party under con-
lviction. The letter to the governor,
written by Parsons, which was printed
jim several of the newspapers, was never
imailed to him. or at least he never got
tit, and therefore. officially, knows moth
in of it.

New YORK, Oct. 2S.-District Attor-

Davis, to-day examined into the allega-
tions in the complaint of foreign holders
OF old Kansas Pacific railroad stock
against Messrs. Gould and Sage. that
they misappropriated 100000 worth
of bonds of that corporation. Counsel
for MesSrs. Gould and Sage called on the
district attorney in the afternoon and
became personally responsible for Mr..
Gould's appearance when wanted, so
that his trip abroad will not be inter-
fered with. Mr.. MARITIME says that
while he is not fully convinced of the
correctness of the view taken by the
complainants that the statute of
limitations can never apply in a case of
grand larceny in Withholding Securities,
yet he proposes to thoroughly investi-
gate the subject. The inquiry will
occupy several days.
1t was reported this evening that jaw
Gould had been arrested on a bench
warrant issued On application of the
attorneys for the foreign Kansas Pa
cific bondhOlders' Another rumor pre-
vailed that, though the warrant had
been iasued, it had not been served on
Mr.. Gould, who was said to have gone
down the bay on tug.

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The meetings which
have been permitted by the police to be
held daily in Trafalgar square since last
Sunday have for the moment abandoned
the original and apparently sole object
OF obtaining work for the unemployed,
and have embraced Henry Georges
theories with as great enthusiasm as the
crowd evinced i'll demanding work and
bread few days ago. At the meeting held
to-day Rev. Mr.. Hedlam, who obtained
some nOtoriety short time ago as the
champion of the ballet i'll opposition OF
the clerical Outcry against that species
of public performances, moved reS0lu-
tiCn demanding the restoration of the
land to the people, from whom he de-
clared ii had been wreSted by kings
and capitalists, and it was carried by
the unanimous vote of the vast crowd
present. The resolution also demanded
an equitable distribution of the
wealth of the country among the people
and this clause, more than that asserting
the claims of the people to the land,
seemed to reflect the sentiment of the
gathering. \ large number of ladies con-
neeted with st. Matthew's guild were
present and heartily endorsed Mr.. He'd
1am's resolution. The spirit of violence
which pervaded the meetings of last
week has entirely subsidized and the
sympathy which has hitherto been with
held from the furnishing wretcheS on
account of their menacing attitude is
now being extended to them from all
sides. 1t tsanSpires that the recent con-
VentiOn of

prominent members of the party and
passed a resolution to the effect that the
members of the convention were not
willing to attach their names to the
manifestos signed by men whose acts
had been traitorouS and unworthy of the
countenance OF honest men. This reso-
luton passed. The names of
the persons against whom it
was aimed were demanded, and
given. These proved to be those of
Herr Vierieck. who is reported to be the
son of Emperor William, and Herr
Geiser, Son-in-law of Herr Liebknecht,
the socialist leader in the reichstag, and
both were expelled forthwith. Herr
Vierieck and Geiser had been generally
regarded as among the most valuable

socialists, and the discovery of evidence
of their duplicity created great excite
ment.

A FiendiSh Plot .

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2s.-A. Lowen-
stein and John Dunning have been az
rested on suspicion of having caused
the death of Henry Benhayon, who was
at first supposed to have committed sui
eide. The police are after a woman
named Mrs, Zeissing, who is suspected
of conspiring with Lowenstein and
Dunning to effect the murder. The
keeper of the lodgings where Benhayon
was found dead has identified the men
as those who hired the room, and Dun
ming has also been identified as having
bought cayanide of potassium from a
druggist. This is the drug found on Ben
hayon's body and which aided in max
ing the case appear to be suicide. The
letters in which Benhayon accused him
self of the murder of his sister, Mrs.
Bowers, and eXonerated DR.. Bowers Of
that crime, are thought to be forgeries
by agents of Bowers, beyond doubt,
the object of the whole plot being to Sc
cure Bowers acQuittal of the charge of
wife murder.

PARIS, Oct. 2S.-President Grevy this

system of blackening his son-in-

press, but through committee of the
chamber, embracing numerous personal
enemies and representing party hatred.
The committee, he said, were usurping
the functions of judge and jury. See
ing the spirit in which it
had been formed he had de-
cided to resign. While he
thought he enjoyed the confidence of

take such step, but he was unable to

by an application made few days to
